Why early humans radically changed their toolkits 200,000 years ago

New Scientist - Space - Wed, 08/04/2026 - 20:00
A decline in ancient megafauna in the Middle East coincided with a shift towards smaller, lighter toolkits in the archaeological record – though scientists are still in debate about why
